Event Details

Taking A Stand

Through the theme, this year’s conference will focus on those who have taken a firm position on an issue and have had a significant impact on history. The theme will foster deeper understandings of historic events, making history relevant to students. With the timing of the conference right at the beginning of the school year, teachers will be equipped with essential secondary sources, quality primary sources, engaging classroom activities, and “shovel-ready” projects. Sessions will include U.S., world, and Arizona history, innovative ways to teach and share history, and address the Arizona content and/or literacy standards for history/social studies.

New Venue!

We are excited to hold the conference in a new venue this year: The Phoenix Zoo! All sessions will be indoors in air conditioned rooms with free, convenient parking. Please join us to explore “history in the wild”!
